Intro G,D,C  Capo II

G       D      C            
The simple minded 
G        D    C
And the uninformed
G       D           C
Can be easily led astray
G           D                    C
And those that cannot connect the dots
G          D        C
Hey look the other way
G         D                        C
People believe what they want to believe
G           D              C
When it makes no sense at all
G              D                      C
So be careful of those killing in Jesus’s name*
G              D             C
He don’t believe in killing at all*




G    D   C 
Walk tall
G      D   C      
Yeah walk on
G    D   C
Walk Tall
           EM   D
Through this world
G    D   C
Walk tall
G           D              C
Somewhere out in the distance
G            D         C
Is the death of you and me
G                  D           C
Even though we don’t think of it much
G                 D          C
It’s still out there for us to see
G                 D               C
If you treat life like a bar room fight
G          D           C
You’ll die stinking of gin
G          D                C
No drunkards are allowed in heaven
G           D     C
No sinners will get in
G   D    C
Walk tall
G    D       C
Yeah, walk on
G    D   C
Walk tall
           EM  D
Through this world
G  D    C
Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in
There’s plenty to get you confused
And in this land called paradise
You must walk in many men’s shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
Will help a man walk tall
So walk tall
Yeah, walk on
Walk tall
Through this world
Through this world
Yeah, walk tall
Then walk on
Walk tall
Then walk on
Through this world
Through this world
Through this world
Through this world
Walk tall
Walk tall
Then walk on
Walk tall
